I can see why you might say that, but have you ever seen a car painted that way? I have, but I forget where. Might have been a video. Point is, that scheme looks really boring. As goofy as the hockey stick is, it makes the cars visually interesting.
I was about 11 years old and tried my hand at HO. I had a full AHM set of those BN passenger cars. I loved that train, and still miss it.
